These simple user-space drivers support using certain homemade,repurposed, or commercial devices as MIDI controllers on Linux, eventhough the devices themselves are not capable of generating MIDI messages;this does not include things like MIDI-over-serial or PIC based projects,which are true MIDI devices.

Reasons for using this software include: achieving MIDI entry on machineswithout MIDI ports, reusing old hardware, pure frugality, and fun.

This package uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute withelevated privileges (required for realtime audio processing). Thismay be considered a security/stability risk. Please readhttp://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To disablecapabilities, pass SETCAP=no to the script.
